He doesn't seem to have impeded it, and the Ardas repeat. It doesn't seem exactly his style, though, it's too - I don't know, it's not exactly funny, but it's too far in that vein, even if something's set up to go more Eru-shaped later it lends a sort of silliness to the whole thing for this to happen in this way.

Nod. I want to go meet everybody.

You aren't allowed to talk to Khemet's wives because of their sexual propriety protocols.

- is that a common problem?? Enough that they have protocols around it?

Apparently! It's more relaxed for everyone else, Masaharta has half a dozen girls in his 'household' and is apparently married to none of them, you can talk to those and Merenre's wife if you like. But no addressing the pharaoh's wives. Women are allowed to, if you want to feed me lines and borrow my eyes, though I'd want to make sure that was okay with Khemet since it seems to violate the spirit.

He glances at Khemet. 

Was he unhappy before the nonsense started or is he just stressed about how to manage it.

I think he is under more stress than usual but has not been enjoying his tenure as monarch.

That's interesting. I'd appreciate if you'd ask about talking with his wives, I'm curious if any of them are people we know.

"Khemet, is it all right if I talk to your wives while letting my Maitimo borrow my senses and suggest things to say, or no?"

"Poor Osirian traditions, not designed for that at all. Go ahead."

So she pats her Maitimo on the arm and goes over to the wives' table.

They seem rather delighted about this. 

"Hello! The new person who just appeared, you know him?" someone asks her.

"Yes, he's from my world. I'm a friend of his family."

"Huh."

"We were speculating how you knew each other," someone else explains. "No one guessed that."

"I'm not sure how much you were told or how much you can hear from over here."

"We were told to evacuate, earlier today, and then told we could come back because there was a very mysterious security situation but it didn't seem dangerous, and then that it involved people from other universes no one knew about."

"We can hear most of the conversation but it doesn't make a lot of sense."

"I appeared first, and since then more people with my personality have been accumulating and so have people who match Khemet and are from, or passed through, the same set of worlds. As far as we know we're all here except the one who goes with Cam, the fellow with wings. Belmarniss, the purple one, is from this world and was collected more conventionally. May I have your names?"

Their names are Laila and Alulu and Abada and Faizah and Kalila and Samar.

"It's lovely to meet you all. I'm Mirelótë Ambela. What did you all guess?"

There was a betting pool between 'his sister' and 'his sister-in-law' and 'married-but-it's-like-the-pharaoh', see.

"I'm married to one of his grandfather's advisors."

"That's a really good anti-aging spell."

"My species doesn't do the... aging... thing."

" - you mean you just look nice until you die? That sounds wonderful."

"We also do not under normal circumstances die."
